Starbucks Strawberry Acai Copycat Recipe

The Strawberry Acai Refresher's blend of freeze-dried strawberries, acai berry powder, and green coffee extract makes it unique. This combination gives the drink a distinct fruity flavor with a slight caffeine kick.

Much like the mango dragonfruit refresher, I love the vibrant pink color of the Strawberry acai refresher. To top it off, real strawberries are included.

Following my copycat recipe, you can easily make any of the three Strawberry Acai refreshers at home, including the strawberry acai lemonade and the pink drink. It takes only a few minutes, and it's so worth it!
